When the concept was revealed BMW's FB account replied to many people saying an estimate of either Q1 or Q2 of 2022 for arrival at dealers.

I really hope they execute well on this. What I don't like is that it wasn't built as an electric car from the ground up. Why in the world did BMW try to use an ICE chassis for their launch into the segment? Stubborn? So short sighted. Huge mistake that set them back years, and they admitted as much several months back.

I was excited for this until the grilles and more gran coupe nonsense. The market needs a proper electric executive coupe

I believe the i4 is supposed to be more upscale vs entry level. I don't see how a reasonably optioned one will be under $70k, which is in line with a nice 440. It will cost more than the equivalent ICE 440.

BMW is against the idea of dedicated BEV platforms (which have proven to be more beneficial) and instead have decided to make an ICE platform that can accommodate EV's and PHEV and their production process so they can all be on one assembly line. Most likely a cheaper move.

The iX can be preordered from Monday so I expect the i4 to follow. I thought the i4 was being released before the iX.

With that said, I'm excited to see what the final product brings - the i4 is something I will be seriously considering to either replace the F36 or have in alongside it. |
